Plein Air Thursday: Fall Winds Blow

October blustery winds blow as the Plein Air Painters group paints inside. The wind blew in some friendly faces, Priscilla and Liz. It was so good to see Priscilla up and about again...can't keep a good woman down. Priscilla may come next week to paint.
Liz visited and will be back next week to paint with us. She brought her little poodle, Bioux, along to visit with us. Great to have her back.
Sheila has been sick with the flu....hope she's feeling better. She also got her cataract's done so life should be looking clearer.
Terrie will be with us next week after a trip to Italy with Rita and Charlene. Terrie bring you pictures...we want to see, you too Rita.
Gail, hope your finding your way....stop in and visit, we would love to see you.

Here is our Priscilla !!!

Sue painted this scene using acrylics. This is the base for the painting which is in progress.

Gigi painted this Bangor spire using acrylics. Her brilliant brush work is
evident in the sky and clouds which is juxtaposed agains the hard
architecture of the building. The perspective gives the viewer the
feeling of looking up at the church spire. Wonderful Gigi!

This is Gigi's sketch which she used to paint the acrylic. This painting is in watercolor.
The soft, airy trees are in contrast to the churches architecture. Great Job, Gigi!

This is a little gem painted in oil by Charlene. The Mananna Island near Monhegan is
mysterious. The composition is wonderful . The viewer is drawn into the painting by the ladder and
then led further in with the buildings. Fabulous Charlene!

Gloria painted this shingle from her barn. She is experimenting with painting on wood and the rough surface
is a challenge as is the hole in the board. This winter scene is in her yard. She is having
fun painting this...the painting is in progress. So far so good.

Charlene is blocking in her painting of a house on Monhegan. She under-painted with an orange acrylic and
has layed in the sky with oil paints. Can't wait to see the finished painting!
